- SCINSKI SEEKING . TWO COOD. HITTERS Beating by Ponies Convinces Him Team Wou't Do. '+ | The parsistency With which New ' Britain has lost game after game through inability to.hit at opportune moments is beginning to cause Own- er 'Scinski no litlle worry and he is now. engaged in' casting about for a hard hitting inflelder and a slugging outfielder. Time and again the club : has had chinces to win, but has fal- len flat because no one could produce the clout.* Scinski is game and is not downcast over the showing of the - !team, but he is determined not to rest until’ he' gets an infielder and an " loutfielder who can hit when a ' hit Jooks like a porterhouse steak to ( a tramp. The game yesterday was made un- interestipg through , New ' Britain's (Breat weakness with the willow. 'Springfield won 5 to 0; but with Dug | Smith, traveling the way he was early in the game it is probable that the | . final count would have been different .. ihad his mates backed him up with a ifew healthy swats. Four hits—two in the ninth inning—was the total of jthe day’s work, and it wasn't because Justin was so good either. The local “boys just failed to connect and al- L . 1ofved many straight plate-bisectors to go by them Without offering at the ball. © . Ragged work in the fleld was also * a contributing factor by which Billy Hamilton's league leaders were al- lowed to romp away without interfer- ence. The New Britain team looked like a day in April; good ' here unu there and ‘bad 'there 3fid Here. . “Smith gavé al Wonderful exhibition \ /garly in the ‘gam®e’and disproved that ‘aman_can't lift himself by his own ' /suspenders. ' In fact he gave the fin- est dmitation ' of a human derrick =imaginable and liftéd him- | self out of geveral holes practically ' “tnaided. He started off like a prairie [ ' fire and might have finished just as strong had hé been given any encour- agement. Out of the first twelve men up to bat he fanned six and for the first five innings he allowed but two : hi Cabrera on Deck. “Cabaret” Cabrera, the -old New Britain shortstop, played in that posi- ' tion for ‘the invaders and gave a good ‘ account of himself. His fielding was %¢ of A No. 1 order and he swatted the " firat ball pitched to him in the second {inning for two bags. He had. his eye on the right field fence all afternoon and drove out several to that section of the lot that were a few feet foul. “Cabby” was given a great -ovation 'when he hopped off the train with the Springfield team and every man, woman and child he met said: ‘“Oh, there’s “Cabby,” ah there, ‘Cabby.’ ” Ponies Start Something, Both teams were going strong up to " [ the ‘seventh when, the Ponies turned Joose with their bats. “Pretty” O’Hara dropped’ the ball' out in the short . right garden. Browne could have gged it had Zeimer let him but second baseman insisted on going after it and as & result no one caught it. ‘Then to make matters worse , Browne fozzled on the first bound and O'Hara reached second. Pratt cleaned . up with a grand slam over the left field fence. ; '\ The clubbing was continued in the * eighth, “Tom” Stankard singled. Tierney came through with an encore jwhile trying to sacrifice. Smith made §a &/bad peg to first, which was being - covered by Nasher and Stankard, ', yeached third.. A sacrifice fly by Cabrera brought him ‘in. The home { team appeared shot to pieces and be: fore the dust had settled Tierney had scored on'a bad throw in by Ostrich on O'Hara's bang to left. O’Hara took third during the mix-up and a sacrifice fly by Pratt ushéred him over the plate. ' In the ninth Jones reached third on a base on balls; a putout and a wild pitch but died there. ' Up to the seventh inning omly one man on the New Britain side, Zeimer, had seen first base and he Was forced .at second by Bauer, who later fell a " victim to' “Larry” Pratt's arm as he was committing o deliberate theft . of the middle cushions The side had | - { been retired in' order in each. session and only eighteén men faced Justin. In the seventh ‘Brbwne managed to get.us far as:second on a single and |° '@ base on balls to Sullivan. He | got . no farther. Come ,to Life, The locals fell into their old :ways ‘ \.of going out In order in the ‘eighth in- ' ming but in the ninth started a be- lated whacking rally. : Ripley went in to bat Smith and fanned. Han- pock, understudying for Nasher, did the same. Browne reached first on an Infield hit and Sullivan sent the bail ‘screaming for a . double, putting " Browne on third.

Local Tennis Sharps to Take Crack at Rivals in Dometown. The High school tennis team will play its second game of the season Wednesday afternoon when the boys go up against Hartford in Hartford. This is the first of a three-game series, the first of which is schéduled to be played in Hartford, ' the second in New Britain and the third, if neces- sary, in Hartford. Captain Porter has ordered his men to keep in strict training in. preparation for the match. All the faults that the team showed in Watertown have been repaired un- der the watchful eyes of Peorter, Majer and S8ampson, the star players. Although Hartford beat Watertown, it is expected that New Britain will give Hartford an exciting match, as the local players have polished off some of the rough edges, due'to lack of .practice on foreign courts, which contributed to their downfall before the Taft school artists. About eight (rfllen will make the trip to the Capital City. BOBBY STOW HURT. Bridgeport Crippled By Absence % Sccond Baseman. ‘Bridgeport, May 5.—Dame Fortune has certainly handed the ice pitcher to Bridgeport. All the pitchers are out of shape, two positions are weak- and the latest blow is the injury to Bob Stow, who may be out of the game | for a few days. He was hurt in the third inning Sunday when he “caught his ankle in sliding to second. He limped during the rest of the game. During his absence Manager | Boultes may have to use Cardiff at shortstop and: Richards at second. McClintock, who saw Richards on the training trip, says the youngster is a good player. e has been on the Montreal bench for over a week and that rusted his batting eye, he claims. Richards plaved ‘in the Appalachian and North Carolina. leagues last sea- son. Strickfus, the St. Joseph team coach, played with Richards in the south and knows him wel. ——— TWO PENNANTS WILL DO.

It must be assumed from your ques- coll, since everything works all right when the new coil is used. A weak spark at the plug is probably the trouble. This weak spark is undoubt- edly due to no condenser action in the old coil. If "the 'condenser is broken down a weak spark may be obtained sufficient to run the motor without load, but thé hot spark pro- duced by the condenser action is necessary to make the motor pull = Motoring Department, The Herald— I have a 24-horsépower Panhard ma- chine, four-cylinder, old make, and I wish to replace the foreign carburetor on it.

There are several stand- ard makes, such as the Everready, made by the American Ever Ready company, and the Hartford, made by the Truffault Hartford company. The Fverready is a mechanical starter and is attached to the front. It would cost approximately $110 to have this installed. It is possible that the dealer for this car in your section may be in a poeition to give you further. advice regarding this matter. Motoring Department, The Herald— Supposing you break an intake valve on a_five-ton truck, what would you do to get home with the load? Could vou run the engine with a broken valve? Your answer will settle the digpute—A. L.

Likewise, the compression of this eylinder should be reheved by remov- ing the valve cup or plug. By closing the intake ports of this cylinder the mixture for the other cylinders will not Le greatly disturbed. By relieving the compression on this cylinder the intake port will be relieved of suction and compression. In. this manner the cvlinder will be dead.

The principal factor in getting the local followers of fistania talking is the announce- ment that Jée Ryan-of this city will meet Bob Reimer of Manchester in ten rounds at 133 pounde. * Ryan is feeling like a two year old and ig anxious to show his friends, who will probably pack the ringside. that this Reimer person may be some boy when it comes to knitting silk neckties, but is in tHe also ran class when stacked up against a real fighter. Reimer is confident that he will put the New Britain glove artist to the floor to stay floored and con- sequently a pretty mix-up is looked for. The rest of the bill is well balanced with Kid Rocco and Young McMahon, both of Waterbury, down to go six rounds at 122 pounds; Kid Bruce of Bristol and Joe Demars of Winstéd, six rounds at 128 pounds, and Happy O’'Brien and Jack Cairns, both of Bristol, six rounds at catchweighis “Honest John" Willis of this eity will be the third man in the ring.
